Recipes from the Garden Hotels: Basil Gin

Botanical Garden Gino mit Basilikum

This recipe comes from Paulo Bernardo of the Berghotel Schatzalp in Davos.

Ingredients

  • 10 basil leaves
  • 6 cl Botanical Garden Gin
  • 3 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 cl sugar syrup
  • Basil sprig for garnish

Preparation

Wash the basil leaves and gently rub them with your fingers to release their aromas. Then, add the remaining ingredients – lime juice, Botanical Garden Gin, and sugar syrup – to a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, mix, pour into any glass, and garnish with a basil sprig. For an alcohol-free version, simply use 6 to 10 cl of mineral water instead of gin.

Tip: Alternatively, on hot days, three slices of cucumber can be added.
